Changes to the start of the day from September 2022
15th July 2022
Changes to the Start of the School Day
Last month, we wrote to you as part of a consultation on changes to the start of the school day, in line with
the latest Government legislation. Following feedback from staff and parents, we can now confirm that we
are making the changes that were proposed; therefore, from Monday 5th September, the start of the school
day will be as follows:
• 8:50am: The gates and classroom doors will be opened.
• 9:00am: The gates will be closed, and the register will be taken.
• 9:00-9:10am: Pupils who arrive during this time will be marked as late.
• 9:10am: Pupils who arrive after this time will be signed in for the purposes of fire drills etc., but the
morning session will be marked as an unauthorised absence on their registration certificate.
As proposed, we will keep Nursery opening times the same (starting at 9:00am) in order to match Government funded sessions (15 and 30 hours).
We will be writing to you in September to reinforce the importance of good attendance and punctuality, so
please make sure you adjust your morning routines to ensure that you arrive on time every day!

Important Information Regarding the Last Week of Term
• We are pleased to be able to invite you to attend your child’s end of year certificate assembly, in their
classroom – please see the dates and times for each class on the right (including a change of date and
time for the Year 6 leavers’ assembly, which is in the hall).
• You will no doubt be aware that the Met Office has issued a Red Extreme Heat Warning. Our risk
assessment is attached with this newsletter; please note in particular:
o There will be no PE lessons on Monday or Tuesday; however, children may come to school
in their PE kit or another plain, light-coloured t-shirt and their PE shorts on those days if
they wish.
o The children must stay in the shade at break and lunchtimes, whether or not they are
wearing a hat.
o Please ensure that your child has sun cream applied before they come to school.
o Unless the guidance changes, we expect to stay open for full school days as normal.
